Chapter 900: A Few Boxes of Treasures
In the summer, it gets dark late, and according to the habit in the United States, this dinner is estimated to have to wait until 7 p.m.
But in Yan County, it was very late to start the meal at six o'clock in the evening: the Wang Debiao brothers came, dressed freshly and refreshingly, knew that the manor had central air conditioning, and went back to take a bath and change clothes.
Been to the construction site, too dirty.
In the kitchen, Tang Gui, the head chef, and the two borrowed chefs from the Yanxi Hotel were still busy, saying that the meal would not start until half past six, and the Wang brothers would go to the living room to sit down first.
Zhang Nan was playing with his daughter in his arms, Wang Debiao looked at this situation, and was a little annoyed that he hadn't inquired about the situation before: he didn't think that the boss even had a daughter.
I knew I should have prepared some gifts for the children, but now this will be a bit passive: but the scene has to be said, say what you think in your heart, and the boss will appreciate it.
Zhang Nan doesn't really take it seriously, these two brothers just have a heart, since they say they are not prepared, then find something troublesome for them to do: "Degui, can you find a craftsman with good craftsmanship, I want to get two of our traditional children's bamboo beds for the child." ”
Wang Degui, who was sitting on the sofa, straightened his waist, "Yes, you can do it right away, all Qingliang."
It's estimated that I won't be able to catch up this year, and it will take at least a month to work hard for such a bed, and it won't come soon. ”
Qingliang, the first layer of bamboo, is the smoothest after polishing, and it is the most comfortable for people to lie on their heads, similar to the meaning of "the first layer of cowhide".
"There's no hurry, just do it by next summer.
Then I will order a few mats with a width of 1.8 meters, and I will also use green strips to polish them better.
I also ordered two brown bed frames of the same width, and gave them to SC Johnson for me to ship to the United States. ”
At this point, Zhang Nan said with a little emotion: "I have slept outside Simmons for a few years, and this time I came back, the bed at home was still comfortable." ”
The reason for making small bamboo beds and the kind with fence racks is because I feel that it is not good for children to be in an air-conditioned environment in summer, especially if the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is too large, it is easy to get sick.
Bamboo strips are made into small beds, and the temperature of the air conditioner can be raised in summer, and even the air conditioner can sleep peacefully on days that are not too hot.
The brown trampoline is actually a dense "net" woven with a brown rope woven of natural brown silk in a wide hardwood frame: after a good brown bandage mattress is completed, people will feel very hard when they lie down, but it is moderately elastic and breathable.
Compared to it, Simmons is simply unforgivable, inferior!
The boss had this little request, Wang Degui said again and again, no problem, saying that he could find the best brown mattress master or something immediately, and he sent a military order.
People who do engineering know a lot of people, and they can always get the best handmade furniture when they spend money, which Zhang Nan does not doubt.
After a few words of gossip, seeing that it was still early before the meal time, Zhang Nan handed over the child to Aunt Miranda, and asked people to bring a few cardboard boxes that the two brothers had brought before, which were said to have some good things in them.
In the past two years, the construction group has N more than one project, the news of going to find high-quality antiques, and the introduction between people in the engineering circle, the top treasures collected by the two brothers of the Wang family for the big boss are here.
The outside is a cardboard box, and when you open it, the packaging inside is exquisite, and it is a gift box.
There is a bamboo weaving factory in Yan County, and there is a supporting packaging box factory, and it is simple to customize some gift boxes.
Here, Wang Debiao said while unpacking: "There are bronze mirrors in this box, a total of eight sides, and one side was dug up by the engineering team under Degui when they built a rural road on the side of the Three Realms.
A large tomb is five or six meters long and more than two meters wide, and it is said that it belongs to the Han Dynasty, and it has collapsed.
This mirror inside is really good, 22.5 cm in diameter, beautiful, the others are broken pottery, not even a decent piece of porcelain. ”
As he spoke, Wang Debiao took out a satin box and opened it and handed it to Zhang Nan.
In the past two years, these two brothers have also learned a little about ancient tombs, otherwise how can they say that the Han Dynasty is not the Han Dynasty.
There is something good at the top, and there will be something bad at the bottom, that's it.
Inside the box is a large bronze mirror, which is embedded in a yellow silk cloth circle with its back facing up, and Zhang Nan took it and took a look: this is a very rare round Eastern Han Dynasty chariot and horse fairy portrait mirror.
Hemispherical buttons, beaded button seats, and the diameter of the buttons is 4 cm.
With a pry of my fingers, I lifted the mirror to the side, and I felt that the edge of the mirror was very thick, one point, two or three centimeters.
The back of the mirror area is surrounded with four breast nails with beaded bases, and the edges are triangular. There are four groups of reliefs between the four breast nails in the mirror area, two of which are symmetrical, which are the reliefs of the Mercedes-Benz sedan caravan;
The third group of relief patterns is the East Prince, sitting on the ground, with the words next to it: "East Prince". On the left side stands a waiter shaking a fan for it, and on the right side there is a bamboo slip;
The last group of reliefs is the Queen Mother of the West sitting on the ground, the waiter on the left side is shaking a fan for it, and the waiter on the right is holding a box.
The level of this mirror is very high, but unfortunately Wang Debiao said that in the unearthed tomb, the other objects are only crushed broken pottery, so don't expect to find out the identity of the owner of the tomb.
Due to the geological and climatic environment near Yan County, objects from 2,000 years ago, in addition to bronzes, ceramics and stone epitaphs, don't expect to leave cultural relics with words such as bamboo slips, and the best archaeological experts are also in vain!
Seeing Zhang Nan finish looking at the mirror, closing the lid of the gift box and putting it aside, Wang Debiao said: "The other seven mirrors here are not managed to get them, or they are sent by the suppliers and the bosses and contractors of the engineering team affiliated with our company.
They still think that our brothers like these, so we can take them and do a good job for us. ”
To tell the truth, in the past two years, the construction company has changed its brand to the group, and the two brothers of the Wang family have already made a lot of money, and they can't hide it in front of the big boss, which is their share.
As long as Zhang Nan earns more money, he doesn't bother to care about some trivial things: the Wang brothers are not stupid, they know that no matter how big the business is, they will rely on themselves to survive.
It's right to hug your thighs, if you can't control yourself and want to fly solo or overdo it, their good days will come to an end!
One by one, the boxes were opened, probably the two brothers had studied it before, or simply found a master to see it, and the three boxes in a row contained bronze mirrors from the Han Dynasty.
In particular, the second side is still with a year: ten years of Jian'an, a rearranged divine beast mirror, a beaded button base, and the inner area is rearranged in three sections.
The upper section of the four gods, the middle section of the two gods and three beasts, the lower section of one god and one servant of the three beasts, with the year "Jian'an ten years" mirror inscription, flat edge, decorated with double line chain pattern, the diameter reached 23 cm.
Jian'an, the fifth year of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, ten years of Jian'an, that year Cao Cao took Yuan Tan down.
At that time, the Han family was still orthodox, but it was almost to the Three Kingdoms, and the north was beaten into a pot of porridge, and this mirror was probably a fine product cast in the south.
The third side is a feathered man riding a horse portrait mirror, with a diameter of 19 cm, and the back of the mirror pattern belongs to the traditional Eastern Han Dynasty bronze mirror pattern decoration theme.
The three mirrors are almost no green rust, and the top black lacquer is ancient, which is rare!
In the remaining mirrors, there are three sea beast grape mirrors from the Tang Dynasty, all of which are more than 20 cm in diameter, one of which is gilded, and most of the gold is well preserved.
The two-sided "mountain mirror", this is early, a thing of the Warring States period.
One side is 21 cm, and the other side is 28 cm in diameter, the best in the mountain mirror!
After looking at the mirror, Wang Debiao smiled and opened the second cardboard box to remove the shockproof plastic foam.
"Dong Zhang, this is a good thing, it took a lot of money to get it, and it is no worse than the sword that Cao Qiang gave him. ”
Open the gift box inside, and there is a typical Yue style bronze sword inside!
I tried it, and the blade was extremely sharp, and the sword grid was wrong with gold and silver birds and insects, and there were wrong gold characters on it.
Bird and insect book, it's hard to recognize.
Zhang Nan looked at it for a while and said, "Have you found someone to see it?"
"The previous collection was also an architect, a native of southern Jiangsu, and he looked for someone to see it. ”
Seeing that Zhang Nan didn't mean to interject, Wang Debiao said again: "It's 'the king of Yue, the king of Yue, not only not only', the sword of King Yue's great-grandson." ”
Zhang Nan smiled, "His father should be Gou Jian's great-grandson Zhou Ju, the one who slaughtered his grandfather."
King Yue is not only called Buyang, he should have reigned for 36 years, and his bronze sword has been found more.
That Yue Wang Yu Ci sword can be regarded as the ...... of this prince."
In terms of collection alone, one person owns two generations of well-preserved swords owned by King Yue, which will envy many people to death!
There are still good things, but Guan Xingquan came over and said that the meal was open.
I don't eat actively and have brain problems!
Eat first, then watch, it's too late.
Wang Debiao and Wang Degui actually wanted to continue to offer treasures, but the boss said that they would eat first, and then they would eat.
Do you want the boss to go hungry first?
Besides, the two brothers are also hungry.
There are many people, divided into two places to eat, there are drinks and beer, the local "Boat Lake" in Yan County, the "Stone Beam" on the rooftop, and the canned Budweiser imported from the United States, all of which are placed in ice buckets.
Even if you're in an air-conditioned area on a hot day, a cold beer is a treat.
didn't drink much, Zhang Nan came to a cup of "Shiliang" from Tiantai - if Zhang Nan was most dissatisfied with the kind of thing in his hometown's specialty, it was beer.
It's not delicious!
But some people like it, but it is also a collective enterprise, and it will disappear during the school year, and even the land will eventually create a low-rent housing and affordable housing community.
They were free, but the boss Guan didn't drink at all, and the Wang brothers poured themselves a cup.
If you let it go and drink it slowly, these two will probably be able to drink most of the box - that's a large wooden basket of 24 bottles!
The big meals are basically Zhang Nan's favorite hometown dishes, and as for the guys who came from the United States, they have long developed a stomach that is suitable for eating Chinese food, but some people still like bread as a staple food.
The bread is still there, there is already a toaster in the kitchen, and the guys can't starve.
….
Chongren stewed duck, whip bamboo shoot soup and sesame oil poured with salted radish, Zhang Nan is basically satisfied with these three bowls of dishes. There is also a lot of seafood on the table, and today the East China Sea still fishes, and seafood is sold all year round.
However, compared with a few years ago, the size of this yellow croaker has become significantly smaller, and in a few years there may be no fish to catch in the East China Sea, Zhang Nan remembers that it should be 95 years before having to suspend fishing.
